Most people in Idaho identify as Christian. Over two thirds of all Idahoans, as a matter of fact.

That doesn't account for everyone in the state, however.

27% of Idaho residents say they're "unaffiliated," while only 2% properly label themselves as Atheist.

What does it mean to be an Atheist in Idaho in 2023? According to Wikipedia, Atheism is:

Atheism, in the broadest sense, is an absence of belief in the existence of deities.

Meaning, those people don't believe in a god, or numerous gods, or any type of higher power. If that's not something that is up your alley, that's fine. However, if you're interested, some Idaho Atheists have their own website so you can link up and talk about what does and/or doesn't exist!

Yup. IdahoAtheists.org is a website that exists where you can learn more about what it means to be about that non-diety life. Per their website:

An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church.
An Atheist believes that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said.
An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death.
He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated.

Perhaps it's silly to have a label for a group of people who don't believe something, but everyone has to fit in somewhere, right? If so, we should probably make a name for people who don't believe pineapple belongs on pizza.

Becuase I'd like to start that group and lead it into the future. You know why.

Oh, stereotypes--how we have the most fascinating love/hate relationship. If each of these Idaho towns had one, what would it be?
